It's not copyrighted by ESA, it's copyrighted by a member of ESA. It doesn't expire in 2007, copyrights (at current) last 95 years. SW was made in 1993, so the copyright expires in 2088 (provided that the laws don't change - up until now the copyright length has been only extended and will likely to continue so).
The 2007(?) date is a result of a deal between ESA and Abandonia - provided that a member of ESA in question doesn't object, a game of ESA member can be added on Abandonia, if it's older than 15 years (for more info see horseman's links). If Abandonia would to break its part of the deal, ESA would stop tolerating this site (which is illegal) and would shut it down.
